medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Dear Listmembers, I am having difficulty identifying the source of this motif and wonder if anyone might be able to help me. The text is from a 13th century MS written in England. Many thanks Ilya Vulpis si ei canes insequentes acriter institerint, mox se pedibus eorum prouoluens, more canum adulantium eis alludere incipit. Cuius blanditiis delincti canes; impetum reuocant et blandienti sibi alludunt. Sic uersipellis quisque cum a quouis superiore uitia sua feriri et reprehendi pertimescit. Obsequia et uerba adulatoria quandoque et munera praetendit, quae omnia eos excaecant, qui quaerunt quae sua sunt, non quae Iesu Christi. Vulpis comprehensa, si leui quidem ictu tangatur; mortuam se simulat, ut postea cum locum et tempus nacta fuerit, cautius aufugiat. Ita nonnulli, cum leui qualibet reprehensione a quouis potentiore feriuntur, emendationem spondent. Sed iterum cum defuerit quem timeant, ad consueta mala recurrunt. ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html
